Summary

People who are removed, suspended, or banned by the Farm Credit Administration from a Farm Credit System job must not hold office or take part in running many other financial institutions while the order is in effect. The rule covers eight kinds of places, including insured banks, certain other institutions under 12 U.S.C. 1818(e)(7), insured credit unions, Federal Home Loan Banks, institutions chartered under this chapter, federal financial regulators, the Federal Housing Finance Agency, and the Farm Credit Administration itself. If, after the order, the person gets written permission from the Farm Credit Administration and the regulator of the specific institution they want to join, the ban does not apply as written in that permission and only for those named institutions. Any agency that gives permission must report it to the Farm Credit Administration and make it public, and the agencies must consult each other first. Breaking the ban counts as breaking the original order. Defined term: person — an individual, or sometimes a legal entity if the Farm Credit Administration decides so.
